Geez WG, how can you wait so long before you take action on bots or players who load but never play. This Musashi was in my match today. Obviously he just loads and does nothing. I would think after 50 or 100 matches your system would be able to scan for "players" like this. But he is still here after almost 200 battles.

P.S. It does show you can win over 30% of the time without doing anything.

As you can see he pays. If the dude gives them money, why would they ban him?

I’m not condoning this player, based on the stats. However, I think there is a difference between loading in and dropping in a game. I frequently have issues where my game loads (based on the progress bar), but I sit staring at the team screen for sometimes up to five minutes before dropping in with my guns already turned and loaded. I bring up the point about guns turned and loaded because people who haven’t loaded the guns stay pointing fore and aft.

I agree with you....but how could that be the problem in this case. He tried to join over 180 times and hardly ever loaded? I don't think so.

I wonder if the Musashi makes any credits by just loading and never playing?

I remember a thread where a player described his physical issues and apologized for his consistently poor play. I can understand some players feeling that a person should not attempt to participate in an activity that they are physically incapable of succeeding in. On the other hand, I think they have a right to have some fun. Other threads have talked about six-year-olds driving Daddy's (or Mommy's) boat. No idea what the player(s) in question are up to, but when I run into them (or occasionally end up being one), I just move on to the next battle.

So, its better to whine and do nothing? These types of "players" are why the reporting system exists. If you really gave a damn, assisting in weeding out undesirables would be something you would want to help do.

If you need to vent, fine. if youre just going to whine and do nothing, youre as useless as those you cry about.

I was once in a game with the old tier VI Cleveland and was in the process of dodging torps when my power went out. After about five minutes the power came back on and I booted up the computer and rejoined the game. I figured that I'd find a dead ship but, to my amazement, I was stuck on a rock still alive. What was even more amazing was that I now had a couple-dozen plane kills and a Close Quarters ship kill too. It seems that my ship played better without me than with me at the helm.
